How To Survive A [Troubled] Friendship!

There's a lot of things that could've caused you to read this.

Either you're having a problem with a friendship or, you found the link to my blog and you have no interest in reading it at all. Who knows!

Anyhow, I have had a few fault friendships in my lifetime (Either online or IRL) and it is a tough situation to be in.

Emotions might be flying through the roof, sh*t might hit the fan, I don't know. But what I do know is that you really probably don't want to lose that friend.

1. Talk it out. Nothing gets done when you're either using an owl to communicate or finding out through a rumour.
2. Talk to someone. Getting help should be the first thing you do, because you might ruin your chances when you're left alone in the dark.
3. Avoid apologizing over a text message. If you can, call them, or even better ask them to lunch and do it then. It really would make the other person possibly (most likely) gain more trust in you.
4. Try not to get other people involved! I've been on both sides of the stick in this situation, and it absolutely sucks. Once one person gets involved, a whole bunch more people do, and you end up having to go through WWIII.
5. Try to have a positive outlook on the situation, no matter how bad it is. 
6. Take a break from each other. At some point, possibly one of you are going to talk to the other again and it'll be a huge relief to know that everything might actually be okay with a little time away from each other.

I've had a lot of problems myself with maintaining a friendship. Honestly, if it feels more like a task than having to do it to have fun, don't continue. Let the other person know that, and maybe it might change or, once again, you could take a break. Friendships are the number one thing a person can have (in my opinion) and they're like little keys to the lock of your future.


I've honestly had plenty of online friends (met on different sites, but I promise none were met on a dating site) and it is a hard thing to handle. It's easier to spark problems and drama because the Internet is such a large community full of people of all ages. I promise you, I'm safe with my choices with my friends and none are "fake" and "rude".

I've dealt with sour relationships pretty bad when I was younger, and I absolutely regret those choices greatly. Every friend I have/use to have will always have a special place in my heart. They aren't mistakes, but they are lessons I have learned from.

**Please be responsible with your choices. I understand hatred might be an emotion you'll come across, but refrain from wishing death, or any other negative things. Take a breather and understand they are as equal as you are and they're as much as a person as you.

Thank you for reading and please leave a suggestion/question if you have any! Thank you!~
